The Drawmer 1961 Vacuum Tube Equaliser. Twelve active tube stages to provide two channels of exceptional equalization possessing unique personality. The Drawmer 1961 allows the user to control the amount of signal warmth by deciding how hard to drive the tubes giving a sound as clean as the best discrete solid state designs or as hot as the hottest classic tube designs. Offering 6 individually bypassable filters per channel, with global in/out switching, variable high and low pass sections, the 1961 gives you a wealth of EQ power. The four main EQ sections have overlapping frequency ranges, bandwidth variable from 0.3 to 3 octaves wide, and +/- 18dB of boost and cut. For maximum clarity, each EQ filter has its own separate tube section, in addition, an independent tube provides soft clipping when desired.
